I’m starting to wonder if they actually know the meaning of the word ‘hoax’. It would explain a lot. Nixon didn’t deny he did what he did. He only denied that it was wrong.

A grand jury had prepared a draft indictment planning to charge Nixon with bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and obstruction of a criminal investigation. Was that a hoax too?

we all know it's difficult to be truly surprised by any news this day but was "DOJ moves to declare Nixon innocent and Watergate a hoax" really on anyone's bingo card?

Wait, now Watergate was a "HOAX"? It's one of the most documented, scrutinized and reviewed crimes in U.S. history. Nixon resigned because of it, after Republican senators told him he had to go or be removed. People did prison time. Who is dumber than Donald J. Trump? His supporters.

I suggested a while ago that we would at some point enter the ‘terror weapon’ phase of this war - Russia’s last, desperate, brutal attempt to end it before their capability collapses. I believe we are now in that phase.

Trump is afraid his vulgar, aggrandising Triumphal Arch is going to get blocked so he’s pivoted to a military use to get it through on National Security grounds.

@rea DonaldTrump
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.
Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

It would appear that even if a president breaks his oath to uphold the Constitution and the democratic process, repeatedly commits illegal acts for financial gain and is medically unfit to govern, the US has no means of removing him from office.
